“With Malice Towards All!”

In "With Malice Towards All!", the Fantastic Four face a terrifying internal threat as Sue Storm is overtaken by the malevolent entity Malice, turning her against her own team. Written and drawn by John Byrne, with inks by Jerry Ordway and Al Vey, this issue pits Reed Richards against his wife in a desperate struggle to save her mind without harming her—while the cover by Byrne and Ordway captures the moment of shocking tension.
